It may be possible that your alternator is bad and discharged your brand new battery. Take both the battery and the alternator to your local parts store and have both checked.

pull starter back off but do not disconnect cables, then try key again, if starter spins use a large standard screwdriver to turn the flywheel through the starter mounting hole,if it doesnt move u have motor trouble

Derek,
"Clicking" means that the battery terminals need to be cleaned.
Remove both batteyr cables and clean the cable clamps and battery posts. You will probably not need a boost to start.
Also check the negative cablle where it connects to the engine ground. The cable may be loose, damaged, corroded or otherwise not making a good ground connection.

Bummer. Sometimes rebuilt starters are not actually rebuilt, but repaired. this means they fixed the issue, but did not replace bushings, brushes, etc...
try hooking up a wire to the actuater terminal of the starter (usually the small one at 2 o'clock position) and connect test light to it an ground the test light. Run this wire inside the cab so you can see it...When you turn to start, this light should light. Run vehicle until problem happens again and if the light illuminates, the focus is the starter, if it does not, you need to look at the entire circuit. Look carefully at neutral safety switch and connections..
Testimonial: "Appreciate the info, I will try what you suggested this weekend. Thanks!"
